It's a spoof, but there are a lot of good ol' time hockey references in there ... and who doesn't love Chicago's "Ice Girls" ... the author apparently, .

Blame Labor Relations Lawyer/Commissioner Gary Bettman.

He is the main reason why your team will not win the Stanley Cup. He hates the game of hockey, and loves the owner of your favorite hockey team. He is why your team doesn’t have a second line that can score. He is the reason why your team is locking up mediocre players to long-term lucrative contracts. He is the reason why the game SUCKS COLD BALLS right now.

Anyway… on to the absolute worst NHL season preview ever committed to an Internet page.

Uh-oh ... I hate those west coast road trips, but the Wings are riding a three game win streak and ready to hand Colorado their first loss. It ain't the rivalry it once was, but there are procedures in place to handle the Avs, .

Yeah, not the kind of guy to say, "I told you so", but that goalie's name is "Gustavsson" and he's our backup, just for future reference, . After seeing Kronwall carried off the ice on a stretcher, I guess the rivalry is still there, I blame it (the rivalry, not the hit) on Roy, . Clean hit though, Mcleod caught Kronwall turning and it's usually Kronwall delivering those anyway. I'll be disappointed if there's any further disciplinary action by the NHL ... it'll mean their following the NFL's lead on 'player safety'.

The rivalry is revived by Roy for sure. (I'll never forget the time he made a good save against the Redwings in the playoffs, put his glove in the air to show off and dropped the puck in the goal.)

It was a clean hit but it looked really bad. McLeod isn't known for being dirty so I hope that the NHL keeps that in perspective when reviewing it.

I'm just happy to see the Avs are playing well again. It's been a while.

Why isn't the sports world showing more hockey?

Right now they're not showing a ton of hockey because MLB playoffs have priority ... it's all part of that "seasons running together" that drives me crazy ... take Thursday for instance ... Tigers/Red Sox, RedWings & Thursday Night Football ... you pretty much have to go to a sports bar to take it all in, . It's a pretty regional sport too and not that popular outside of cold weather areas.

But Roy, he was one of those goalies you hated but had to respect ... my favorite memory of Roy is him being chased early in the second period by the Wings in game 7 of the Western Conference finals, '02 ... scored on the first two shots of the game and Roy just fell apart ... after all the grief he had given the Wings prior to that, it was kinda' nice to see, .

I hated it! I remember that very well. My brother-in-law was visiting from Denver and we were in Seward at the time. We were so excited to watch that game. We turned it off after the first period and went back to fishing.
